Review- A Bad Moms Christmas (2017)



Image via imdb.com
   A Bad Moms Christmas is a sequel to the the 2016 film, Bad Moms and it boasts of an ensemble cast which includes Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines & Susan Sarandon. The Christmas comedy follows three under-appreciated and over-burdened mothers as they try to make Christmas perfect for their families. Things get a little complicated when all their mothers show up in town. Going into the theater, I wasn't too sure I would like A Bad Moms Christmas because most sequels don't get better than their originals and this was no different. I enjoyed Bad Moms & I found it funny but the sequel was less funnier and too raunchy. I wanted to see it mostly because it starred two actresses I absolutely adored, Baranski & Sarandon, but the script felt lazy & was very predictable. A Bad Moms Christmas & Daddy's Home 2 would have done a mini movie mash up because both had empty plots.

    A Bad Moms Christmas still delivers way more than Daddy's Home 2 which is undoubtedly the worst film I've seen this year. In the original, the theme was how important moms were and they tried to do the same thing with this sequel but they failed in more ways than one. My worst part of the film had to be the scene where Carla (Hahn) & Isis (Sarandon) stood in front of a store and aggressively stole groceries from the bags of people leaving the store. I was mostly mad because they made Susan Sarandon do this, Its sad to watch such a phenomenal cast star in such a film. This is definitely a Christmas cash grab movie because there was nothing really special about it. Overall, A Bad Moms Christmas offers a few laughs and emotional moments and It's not a terrible film, just not as funny as the first. This is something you see from your TV or laptop screen. 

RATING 6/10
DIRECTOR Scott Moore, Jon Lucas
SCREENPLAY Scott Moore, Jon Lucas
STARRING Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, Kathryn Hahn, Cheryl Hines, Christine Baranski, Susan Sarandon

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
